Hey all,
So i have a story that'll probably make all the noobie EMS-ers feel SO MUCH BETTER ABOUT all the hardships of starting off in this crazy field...
So it was my second call, I was still being watched over by my FTO. This wasn't even an emergency call, btw, it was a routine transport.
For some reason, my FTO was hell bent on giving me the absolute hardest time, and as him and his partner were wheeling the patient away to the patient's destination, i was in the back of the rig, finishing up paperwork.
My FTO decides to hurry me (just to give me a hard time). I freaked a bit, screamed "OK OK I'm COMING i'm coming!!!" and tried to run to catch up. Except, as i'm coming out of the rig, i get tangled up a bit, "woah...woah WOAH!!!..."
As i'm coming out, my boot gets hooked on the stupid serrated step stuck on the back bumper of the ambulance and WHOOMPH!
I go face down into the pavement... luckily catching myself with my hands before i hit my head. paperwork goes flying. EMT belt accessories. glucose goes flying. Gloves go flying. nasal cannula's go airborne.
my FTO and his partner just glare at me, ALONG with the patient...and as if on cue, start laughing their a$$es off :glare:. The other EMT starts to literally drool onto the floor from laughing so hard. My FTO can barely talk, and in between gasps for air, asks me brokenly "....are..... *LAUGH* ARE YOU.... *LAUGH LAUGH* ...you ok.....?"
Even the patient starts laughing, and points at me "you're the EMT? forget that, i don't want you carrying me *LAUGH LAUGH LAUGH*"
Yeah...lol.... good times ^_^
